Target Assault Races

Overview

Target Assault Races are a race class added with the Southern San Andreas Super Sport Series update on April 3, 2018, during Target Assault Week. They support 4 to 16 players in teams of two. There are seven races, Target Assault I to VII, each locked to a different weaponized vehicle: the Vapid Caracara, Benefactor Turreted Limo, Karin Technical Aqua, HVY Barrage, HVY Insurgent Pick-Up, Karin Technical and Brute Armored Boxville.

How it works

Each team shares one vehicle. The Driver races the course, while the Gunner fires a mounted gun at targets placed along the route. After every lap the two swap roles. Points come from hitting targets, with smaller targets and dead-center hits worth more; large green targets give few points, while small red ones give the most. Bonus points are awarded for passing checkpoints ahead of rivals and finishing laps in the top three. The team with the most points at the end wins.

Tips

• Accuracy beats volume; aim for small red targets and bullseyes.
• Drivers should slow down when the Gunner is on a streak to let them clear more targets.
• Learn where targets appear so the Driver can line up the Gunner's shots.
• Agree on roles before the race, since each player takes both seats.

Rewards and unlocks

• Standard race payouts of cash and RP.
